AUTUMGBILIE TIRE-PUMIE.

Application filed January 17, 1813. Serial No. 742,857.

To all whom it may concern 3B'1t known that I, ALFRED JAnUscH, e citlzen of t-he'United Ststes,-residing at Deer Park, in the county of St. Croix and State of Wisconsin, have invented nei and useful Improvements in Auto-mobile Tire- Pu-nips, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention is primarily designed to supply a mechanism which may befitted to aut-omolnlesor other medium-- tion of parts, which hereinafter will he more particularly set forth, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the appended claim.

Referring to the drawings, forming a part of the specification, Figure 1 is a detail view, showing the application of the in- 'vention. Fi 2 is adetail View of the compressor and its mountings. Fig. 3 is a dc tail View of the driver which is fitted to the shaft from which the compressor derives power. Fig. 4; is a sectional View, showing the connecting means between the barrel of the air compressor and the supporting plate.

Corresnondi11g and like purts are referred to in the following description. and he views of the drawings.

The compressor may he of any type and as shown consists of a pump embodying a cylinder 1 and a piston 2 iii-ranged to on crate within the cylinder and having its rod connected with a crank wheel 4. A plate 5 supports the air compressor and crank wheel and is adapted to be secured in any manner to the frame of the machine. The plate '5 may he cast or cutfrom 'a metal plate oi proper gage. A standard 6 rises from the plate and supports the cranlc wheel 4-. Standards '7 are fitted o the end portion of the plate 5 and pi'vptally support-the cylinder or pump o "rel l, the lat: iFl having a metal strip 8 lit-ted. an end thereof and clamped by means of a bolt- S which latter is supported in the standards 7. Nuts 10 are mounted upon end portions of the bolt 9 and serve to engage the ends of the metal strip 8 so as to draw the lutterby Specification of Letters Patent.

a clamping action about the pump cylinder or barrel. 1. The ends of the bolt 9 project beyond the nuts 10 to form journals which are mounted in openings at the upper ends of the standards 7. A guide 11 directs the pump barrel or cylinder 1 in its oscillatory movement, said guide being of substantially U form and connected to the plate 5 in any manner; .A rubber tube 12 connects with the cylinder or barrel 1 and is adapted. to be coupled to the valve of the tire to be inflated. The air compressor may be conveniently located upon the machine and is adapted to be driven by means of the englue or motor.

A driver 13 secured to a shaft connected with the engine or motor so as to be driven therefrom. The driver 13 consists of a wheel or pulley which is split to enable the parts to be titted about the shaft from which power is to be taken. A hub 14 projects from one side of the driver and is also split. A clamp 15 is fitted to the hub 141 and secures the driver upon the shaft. The clamp 15 consists of a strap which is shaped to embrace the hub ll and has its end portions extended outwardly end pierced to receive a bolt by means of which the clamp is sccured in place. The driver 13 prferaoly consists of a sprocket wheel and the crank wheel iis likewise of the sprocket type, the two being connected by means of a sprocket chain it). The drawings illustrate the driver 1 i .2 1 15% secured to the tansh i'ft oi. a motor, but

The to is to he oi? such a length as to reach all rue tires of the machine.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawinls, the advantages of the construction and ot the method of operation will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains, and while I have desrribml the prinriple of operation of the invention, together with the de ice which I now eonoider to be the best embodiment thereol, I desire to have it understood that the device shown merely illustrative, and that such changes may be made when 41lesired as are within the scope of the claim appended hereto.

new; thus described the invention What is clain'ied as new, is

The inflating mechanism comprising a support spaced standards rising from the support, an air compressor embodying a pump barrel, a strip embracing an end portion'o'f the pump barrel and having its ends extended. a bolt passing through o .ienin; s formed in the end extensions of the strip and mounted. in the standards, nuts threaded upon end portions of the bolt inside the standards and clamping the strip about the pump barrel, uide means mounted upon the support and engaging the opposite end of the pump barrel, and operating means for the compressor.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presenceof two witnesses.
